I think Spurs might become a very different beast if Conte is given the time and the backing to develop them. I can see them winning a domestic cup at the very least next season.
Although we had to trigger Cucurella's release clause to get him (and even then, it was a long drawn-out process). I'm not sure that Udogie's contract contains a release clause.
For what it's worth, I agree with you - it's very difficult to keep a player once their head has been turned...
I'm not sure whether Marino was talking before or after we supposedly came in for Udogie, but the Udinese director had this to say yesterday:-
1532990465116672000
So Udinese appear to be in the process of acquiring a new left-back. It might mean absolutely nothing, but I wonder whether it signals that Udogie might be on the move?

No, I think his lack of celebration at Wolves was because he was sulking about not being allowed to take the second penalty in that game. MacAllister snatched the ball out of his hand because he was the designated penalty taker, and Biss was not happy.
But that's just part of football - I...

Sounds like Libertad's president is trying to talk up the selling price at the 11th hour - and we know how well that approach goes down with Bloom and co.

I must admit, I'm not exactly salivating over anything on that list. In actual fact, there's a fair bit of programming there that will have me avoiding the television altogether this festive season!
I must admit to being a little concerned here. Arteta is clearly on borrowed time, and Arsenal are exactly the kind of club who will try to poach Potter from us. We know they want half our squad, and it can't be lost on them that our manager is the one who gave them the freedom to play as we...
But I don't think this one will be about offers. I might be wrong, but didn't Getafe say that they weren't prepared to negotiate and the only way in which he would leave would be if someone triggered his released clause (said to be €18m)? I think the Albion were trying to negotiate something...
All of this is true, but that doesn't preclude SeagullinExile also being correct. Selling Ben White for £50 (+ add ons) was *definitely* a good bit of business for the club, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't also left us significantly weakened in that position. There is a reason that players...
I completely agree with you, but we saw last summer that Ben's agent is unlikely to have his best interests at heart. He appeared to be far less concerned with the career progression and long-term interest of his client than he was securing a big money deal in the very short term. I was really...
We've actually had a couple of these.
Raphael Dwamena in 2017 because of a heart defect. He tried to continue playing (against medical advice) and was forced to retire last year.
There was also Renato Neto from Gent. We spotted an issue with his knee and we went on to miss the entirety of...
Most Spurs fans I know don't actually want it. They're frightened that it would tarnish their memory of his first stint - a Micky Adams part 2, if you will.
And this is the crux of the issue. You are equating the influence of an explicitly political lobby group (the NRA) with the practices of American businessmen and businesswomen who just so happen to share a common faith. In doing so, you're implying that they have a collective ideological...
